The "HTML5 Audio" Feature is praised as: "Listen to your music without the need for Flash. Works in all browsers that support MP3 playback with HTML5 audio: Chrome, Safari 3.1+, and IE 9+.)" Affected are Firefox 25 and newer where media.webaudio.enabled;true is default.

I have the issue on Aurora 27.0a2 (2013-11-07)/Windows 7 64 bits. This is pretty annoying.
FWIW, it also doesn't work setting non-default & hidden media.webaudio.legacy.AudioContext;true media.webaudio.legacy.AudioParam;true though the TypeError is no more. Can some Mozilla Employee contact Google via internal channels about this?
The error changes a bit here but it is still busted on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 ID:20131115030203 CSet: b2fab608772f TypeError: this.yj.createGainNode is not a function
I am able to use Google Music without Flash in Firefox 28 (Linux) if I change the user agent to Chrome. It would appear to be a Google browser detection bug now, unfortunately.
Running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0, I installed User Agent Overrider 0.2.3 from AMO, set about:config appropriately media.webaudio.enabled;true media.webaudio.legacy.AudioContext;true media.webaudio.legacy.AudioParam;true tried both IE10: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/6.0) and IE 9: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0) verified it with http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/ but to no avail - Google Music just won't play. So at least on Windows, this is still completely broken.

Martin, does Google Music even work on IE without Flash? Why would you use that user agent? Does it work using a Chrome user agent, as it does for me? You may also need User-Agent JS Fixer.
Ryan, sorry for not getting back to you earlier. Yes, Google Music works perfectly on IE10 and IE11 without Flash. That's why I chose IE10 and IE9 was just to test another use case. I can test IE11, too, if you want. However, I do believe it doesn't matter as Google just looks for version >= 9.0 (as suggested by the Lab's description). Based on your suggestions, I first installed User-Agent JS Fixer and then tried Chrome 32 as user agent - result: Google Music tries to load the Flash plugin (which is set to "Always ask").

This is not fixed. (At least not with Firefox 30 beta. Just connected to https://play.google.com/music, checked that HTML5 audio is enabled in the Labs section and started playing. Seeing plugin-container consumes CPU and checked via pavucontrol which application is the source of the audio and it is plugin-container (aka Flash plugin). So how is it fixed? Am I supposed to change my useragent or enable some magic preference?

It is fixed because comment 0 doesn't happen any more. I didn't check whether they're actually using Web Audio or not since I don't know whether they use that in Chrome.
ok, if that one is resolved we might just need another bug saying that Google Music is still not working with Firefox' HTML5. It is broken for quite some time now (probably for different reasons) while it worked already in the past. I haven't checked Chrome/Chromium and I cannot tell if it's "supposed to work" but I think so. Otherwise the option would be pretty much useless.
Doesn't work here too, without flash! The point of this bug report was an alternative to flash via HTML5. From Google FAQ (https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1196374?hl=en#1196374) "If you’re using Google Chrome, Safari 3.1, or Internet Explorer 9 or higher, you can listen to music without using Flash." IMHO, this has not been fixed. Maybe, a new bug with better description shall be created and this must be merged into it. P.S.: Also, I've tried playing music on Android via browser, don't work without flash too, this include Chrome or FF beta. Maybe G. Music is the real problem.

After upgrading to FF 31, html 5 music playing stopped working again for me
I can verify that since upgrading to FF 31 (in my case using Ubuntu 12.04) music at Google play will no longer play if html 5 audio is enabled under the labs preferences. Disabling this makes music play again (then using flash). It worked in FF 30.
Confirming Comment 22. Exactly the same thing for me, and first thing I noticed after upgrading to FF31 on Win7-64.
Fresh, clean install of Windows 7 SP1 32bit, Firefox 31. Google Play Music would not play anything; the "loading" icon would just sit there spinning. Downloaded the latest Flash player, no change. Rebooted, no change. I finally got it working by choosing to disable HTML5 audio from the Labs in Settings. Obviously audio output is now reliant on Flash player. My other systems running FF 30 don't have this problem. When the HTML5 lab is enabled, the following message fills the web console: HTTP "Content-Type" of "text/html" is not supported. Load of media resource https://play.google.com/music/listen failed.
This issue persists on both my laptop and desktop, both running Firefox 31 on Windows 8.1. Works fine with Flash, fails with HTML5.
Issue still persists in FF 32
Blocks: 902531
I can confirm this in nightly on Linux (e10s or not) with no Flash installed and HTML 5 audio selected in Google Music > Preferences > Labs. It just sits at 0:00 and never advances for me.
Enabling the HTML5 pref doesn't guarantee it won't use Flash, apparently. Even with the HTML5 pref on, it plays music with a Flash player in my Firefox (probably as a fallback?). This confused me for a while. The createGainNode() error is gone, and I find no instance of this string in the source code. It still doesn't actually play anything, though, it gives warnings that Flash must be installed / updated instead. This seems relevant (code from a function slightly up the stack from the code that adds an <audio> element in Chrome - the <audio>-adding code isn't reached in Firefox it seems): SSa(a, U(8119) ?

Summary: Google Play Music HTML5 Audio Feature broken on Firefox 25+ because of using deprecated Web Audio API → Google Play Music HTML5 Audio Feature broken (because it sniffs browsers, but it also requires window.MediaSource and audio/mpeg)
I'd like to make this bug depend on a "Ship with MediaSource enabled by default" bug (that might itself have several blockers of course) but it seems we don't have such a bug..

Still happens in FF 33
Can confirm this is an issue with Windows 8.1 and a fresh install of FF 33.02.
I can confirm again that this is a long-time issue and it is still present with FF 33.0.3.
It seems something has changed recently, because Google Play Music is no more trying to load flash on my Nightly 37a, its still not plays anything but there is new error messages in console like HTTP "Content-Type" of "text/html" is not supported. Load of media resource https://play.google.com/music/listen failed.
Karl, can we reach out to Google and ask that the Chrome sniffing in Comment 28 be fixed? Feature detecting for our Windows users (who have MSE enabled in Beta and Nightly, at least) should be enough.

Hi, Chrome developer here. Play Music with HTML5 requires MediaSource w/ MP3 support. Last I checked (don't have a Windows box available at the moment to retest) FF had disabled MP3 support in MSE and only worked with WebM. Is this no longer the case?
Hi Anthony, can you answer Dale's question about Mp3 + MSE?

We are working on shipping MSE in Firefox 36 and but we are restricting it to: * Windows Vista and later * MP4 container format * YouTube domain We currently support MP3 inside the MP4 container on Windows and Mac on Aurora and Nightly. We won't be doing any work on raw MP3 in Q1 2015. Let me know if you decide to use MP3 inside MP4 and we can consider supporting it on other platforms.

Google would need to pack their MP3 inside MP4 for it to work and we'd have to whitelist their site.
Something changed in Google Play Music recently, at least for me, now i dont even getting any errors, instead of that Googple Play Music tries to load strange URLs with JSON responses with even stranger URLs probably pointing to audio files. In short - its getting even more complicated and not works at all.

Oh, boy. When does the day come on which Mozilla actually does listen to its customers?
From a site compatibility perspective it's unfortunate if we have no plans to implement a feature that's being used on the web, and on relatively important destinations. Do we have any telemetry data to check how often we hit this limitation/problem?

Google Music works on Firefox Desktop with Flash. HTML5 can be enabled in the labs section. But that means that there's no way to make it work on Firefox OS.

I have plans to add probes for MediaSource.isTypeSupported and MediaSource.addSourceBuffer, but it may not be for a few weeks with Fluentconf workshop preparations. (Presumably we would want to gather URLs as well, rather than just values in some mime type enum--I would have to learn how to do that).

Can't stand it anymore. Firefox is a great browser, but... If this bug is not fixed since 2013, it will never be. Going to switch to Chrome. Sorry, guys.
Just want to add that Google Play Music is now not working for me at all, on FF39, even when changing UA to Chrome. Google has really f'ed this one up.

Just because Google is using Microsoft-era proprietary tricks to lock out competing, standards-complaint products, it doesn't mean Firefox is at fault. No one cares which browser you use.

Not sure this is the correct bug, but since updating to Waterfox 38, Google Play Music is entirely broken for me. The page is completely gray, with just three vertical lines (looking like a drop-down menu) in the top left corner, which can't be clicked.

This bug relates to Google Play Music working without Flash, which is currently unsupported. If you have problems with it working with Flash then file a separate bug.
Hi, today I installed this desktop app for Google Music that works great on my Ubuntu http://bit.ly/1HGUIfz This allows me to have my Ubuntu without any Flash and still play Google Music without using Chrome. Also I find it convenient to have a desktop app that's ALT-Tab-reachable. Hope it may be useful to some of you guys.

For those having trouble getting Google Play Music to work with Flash, go into add-ons, plugins, click options on flash and disable protected mode. While not the best idea for other websites, it will work.

Yes, that's because the HTML5 player requires MSE + mp3 support. Bug 1169485 tracks that.
Just wanted to report that as of yesterday, I have Google Play Music working with the HTML5 lab enabled. Though, sometimes the player reports a song as "could not be played" and re-selecting it sometimes plays the songs just fine and at other times still reports the same error. Seems to me like a Google/content problem. Finally, and with Amazon Video also switching to HTML5 playback, Flash dies its much deserved death! Hell yeah!

Hello. let me add some user input about this bug. Indeed, i managed to get it working. So, thats my setup - latest Nightly (almost, 48.0a1 (2016-03-10)), running on Xubuntu 15.10, 64 bit. Flash is present (but read further). To get Google play Music working i had to install this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashhider/ (0.9.1 installed), its configured to hide Flash on all sites except whitelisted, and set Flash plugin itself to Always Ask. This allows you to turn on HTML5 Audio on Google play music settings (if Flash is not hidden it will be turned off and locked). Now, turn HTML 5 audio on and let Google Music to reload itself. After that go to you library and pick anything to play music. After some delay (several seconds)) music will start to play. Flash plugin is NOT running. Console output is mutating the [[Prototype]] of an object will cause your code to run very slowly; instead create the object with the correct initial [[Prototype]] value using Object.create sj_srcs.js:246:1 no element found request:1:1 Empty string passed to getElementById(). listen__ru.js:1803:166 HTTP "Content-Type" of "text/html" is not supported. Load of media resource https://play.google.com/music/listen failed. listen Empty string passed to getElementById(). listen__ru.js:1803:166 Empty string passed to getElementById(). listen__ru.js:1803:166 But music IS playing. Seek is working, tracks can be changed etc.
Thanks V.Korn! So Google Play should fix their code and ensure they allow selecting HTML5-mode even if Flash is installed. We might reopen this but IMHO it would be a bit confusing because it's got a lot of older comments and analysis - it's better to report a new issue.

I filed bug 1269386 as a follow-up.
Can somebody please fix the resolution status of this bug? WORKSFORME is clearly not correct, and the person who set that status clearly didn't know what they were doing.
Ari, if things have changed, can you file a new bug please? Feel free to cc :miketaylr, thanks.
